IM PROVEMENT IN LOCOMOTIVES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 209,209, dated October 22, 1878 application filed July 24, 1878.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JACOB J. ANTHONY, of Sharon Springs, in the county of Schoharie and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Locomotives; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same.

My invention relates to an improvement in road-locomotives; and it consists in a rectangular water-tank adapted to receive the locomotive-boiler, and constructed with a recess to receive the cranks and connecting-rods of the locomotive.

In accompanying drawing, forming part of this specification, I show my invention in connection with other parts of a locomotive, for which I propose to take out separate Letters Patent.

Figure 1 is a vertical longitudinal section of the locomotive. Fig. 2 is a cross-section. Fig. 3 isa detail plan view.

Referring to the drawing, A is a rectangular water-tank, which is made sufficiently strong to act as a frame for supporting the boiler B, cylinder 0, and the working parts of the locomotive, and to it are secured the boxes D of the axles E. Over each box there is a water compartment or reservoir, F, which is in communication with the body of the tank. The boxes D are oiled through pipes a, that extend upward through the tank. I

The two axles E are separated sothat the steam-cylinders C may be placed between the drive-Wheels G, and the axles are each provided with one or more cranks, b, atthe middle of their length, which revolve in a recess, 0, formed in the bottom of the tank A, and are connected by a rod, d. v I

I am aware of the use of cylindrical tubes to form a feed-water holder and a truck-frame,
